About this listen

 Academia and education consists of many different types of people and personalities. Join me every Friday as I interview a new guest to discover more about the lives, tales, stories, heartbreaks, and triumphs of academics from all walks and stages of life. We will keep it respectful, tell our stories, give good advice, and also laugh because we don't take ourselves TOO seriously around here haha.© 2023 The Semi-Professional Academic Podcast Science Self-Help Social Sciences Success
